Ascii IEH's

 

For users who need IEH's which contain CalCOFI hydrographic bottle and station information in ascii format.  These are in CalCOFI 128-column data archive format and are available in 2 versions:

  • observed data (YYMMarch.ieh)
  • observed data with interpolated standard levels (YYMMt.ieh)
The IEH format was developed as an archive format for the CalCOFI data. Prior to Aug 1995, columns 64-65 contained format alignment characters (Z*).  Starting in 2006, the Station Id will report Line & Sta to tenths ie 81.8 46.9 instead of 82 47 or 86.7 100.0 instead of 87 100. This change was made to allow the inclusion of coastal SCCOOS station data with nearby standard station data.  (IEH stands for "Is Everybody Happy?" coined by programmer David Newton.)
